For Light Grey Art Lab's Midnight show

About this piece:
In this dream, I remember trying to watch the stars turn into rain in a crowd but every crowd member was a different version of myself. Every time I talked to someone else, I would talk back to myself as myself but in a different body. It felt like nothing was odd about it at all although we (I) did bicker about the umbrella not working.

Part of a group show "Guess We're Already There" for The Parliament gallery in York, PA. The show explores different issues and perspectives on growing up or living in the United States. I took a less serious route and illustrated the freedom of having the outdoors to explore as a child.

A Brochure cover for a program held by the National Museum of the American Indian. Each year, 12 young Native Americans are chosen to embark on a 2 week trip to Washington, D.C. and New York City.

“Knowledge of culture and its preservation is essential to Native social and cultural sustainability in the future, while “leadership” is a key component affecting cultural preservation in contemporary Native communities. Just as I want young Natives to be grounded in where they are from, I also want them to meet Natives in government who influence issues that affect us at home”

-  Rick West (S.Cheyenne) Founding Director, NMAI

The trip is sponsored by the Ford Foundation in partnership with the National Museum of the American Indian and a special grant from Rick West.

Personal piece

A poster I contributed towards a benefit show for comic artist and former teacher Kerry Talbott. He recently passed away from a brain tumor and the art community of Richmond, VA got together, creating posters to sell and raise funds for his family. He had a heart of gold with the most straight-forward advice and always encouraged me that it's okay to be a little wacky.
